Student Life
The college's philosophy of education is rooted in a conviction that a Christian liberal arts education is about more than just academic studies. The school's programs focus on developing the whole person — intellectually, spiritually, socially, and physically. There are many opportunities to do that through activities such as concerts, theatre productions, banquets, intramural sports, intercollegiate athletic events, residence hall activities, and study groups.
As a church-related liberal arts college, Milligan remains closely aligned with the Christian Churches/Churches of Christ, a capella churches of Christ, and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the three religious bodies that have traditionally supported the school. A vibrant campus ministry program and culture of service exist on campus. Alcohol and tobacco use are prohibited on campus.
